The site seems a bit slow. Perhaps you forgot to enable DMA?

It came up here as fast as any similar site. It may be safer not to enable DMA. ;-)

Point is, it is working.

There are websites hosted on MorphOS - so in this case an OS4.0 site would be more interesting, promoting the product by it's stability or instability, which anyone could test.

In reply to Comment 6 (Emeric SH):
OS4 or MorphOS should NOT be used as server OS. They are BOTH lacking too much stuff for that like multi-user, true Memory protection, full ressource tracking and a LOT of software

MorphOS should only be use a a client OS ATM. It could change later.

Bye

The lockups related to using both IDE channels on a Pegasos *some* users experienced have been fixed for MOS 1.4.2. So trying to wriggle out the UDMA issue for A1 by putting shit on Pegasos (metaphorically) isn't going to work for you today. :)

Yes, low consuming, low heat, but the server is very fast. It runs without any problem a lot of website and 2nd level subdomain with thousands of unique access everyday, thounsands of forum post in only one of these about 6 website.... since last week with a 126kbit line :-)

The server is doing very well, Linux Debian is impressive under AmigaOne. maybe in the future is we'll have a OS4 server version..... :-D

I advice you do NOT use OS4 as server. It's a silly than to use an AOne, especially the SE.

No problems here. And i don't want to feed trolls.

All the user has noticed a very good performance, stability increse when we put up the server. People who are beOs, Linux, MacOS users, not Amiga users.

Also this night we have had more that 1500 hits only on the main website, without counting about 3000 hits on the forum, all with an hign php/mysql intense work (statistic are all on our server and track everything, and the author don't recomend it on slow machine).

Simply this server rocks, if you want to agree or not.

See you guys.

Read better please: they say that with no DMA, the server is really fast. So why the hell this crap DMA is for ? I mean, it's already fast without it.
When times comes, they will use DMA. But for now, it's stupid to talk about it... Period.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but to provide context - DaemonNews.org, which doubtless handles a good chunk of load, ran on a K6-2 400 until a few days ago, and wasn't obviously slow for it. Tons of sites run on old Sparcs or worse.

Webserving doesn't get ridiculously CPU-intense until you get into the realm of dynamic content, and even then, it's not always going to be as bad as Cisco and Dell might want to sell you on. Static content won't even be disk-intense, since most of the pages you want will be read once and hang around in cache "forever" -- and even PIO IDE should be able to outpace 2mbit/s, when you do have to perform reads. (Since most Linux filesystems do better than synchronous commits, writes aren't a problem, to a point.)

The server is doing very well, Linux Debian is impressive under AmigaOne. maybe in the future is we'll have a OS4 server version..... :-D

What /is/ important to webserving is basic stability, and if this thing can grow an uptime, that bodes well. :) As to serving from OS4 or anything else -- well, everyone's heard the tales of the US Army using Macs (pre-OS X), and there's no particular reason why you can't -- just don't play games on it at the same time (if you want to guarantee stability), and be extra-sure your network stack and httpd are free of unchecked buffers and other potential nasties.

*giggle*

Oh, you're not joking?

If you're really that easily impressed, try running it on good hardware some day and prepare to be blown away. Any 440BX based P-II box from 1998-99 should have you wet your pants in no time. Go to a fleamarket or dig around in trash landfills and you could pick up a few almost for free.

Don't try modern hardware just yet. It might be too much to handle for you, if you're impressed by Debian on a Teron. Better take it a little step at a time.

Have fun Ikir!

BTW, "The world's first AmigaOne public webserver"?

You mean nobody's ever ran apache on a Teron since they first appeared in 2001?

OK, now THAT is impressive. ;-} Not as impressive as the C-64 webservers or that ARexx webserver (forgot its name), but still...
